"Very nice device!
Btw, what would be a stable measurment range of LW20 on full 388 readings/s speed? Or other way - will LW20 be able to measure up to 100m with good reflecting surfaces on the full output rate speed of 388Hz?"
"@Marc Dornan,
as Gautier already said, the KroozSD board has an onboard MAX7456 osd which works with the corresponding software module under Paparazzi. It has rather basic functionality, but, as you said, the Paparazzi project is pretty easy to get…"
"Turning the motors during flight is dangerous, it's really possible, that they won't spin up again.
Isn't it a better way to somehow increase the descend speed?"
"Check out this DIY project:
DIY 360 degree realtime outdoor LIDAR
Looks like they use it on up to 10Hz rotation scan rate.
However Lidar Lite sensor availability is still a big question."
"Doesn't seem they have a working device yet. Looks like they want to investigate the demand in such devices first or pick a big investor. Well... business."
"@Mikhail
As I understand, having deal with linux kernel and driver mods to connect all peripheral and devices needed to fly is much more time consuming and error prone, rather than have a simle singe communication bus to transfer flight/sensor data…"
